Jonathan Ashcraft, the son of Daniel and Elizabeth Shuman Ashcraft, was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania October 6, 1792. He died March 6, 1884. Buried at Frazeysburg, Ohio.

He married Catherine McKee, of Danville, Knox County, Ohio, the daughter of Charles McKee, Sr. and Margaret Lockhart McKee, on December 24, 1813 in Knox County, Ohio.

Jonathan Ashcraft plowed the first furrow of ground on the morning of June 11, 1808 in Pike Township, Coshocton County, Ohio. They arrived at their new home on the evening of June 9, 1808. He served on the frontier for a few months as a CAPTAIN in the War of 1812, in a Company commanded by Captain Wilson, of Licking County, Ohio. A monument was erected to his honor by Joseph Chaney in Frazeysburg, Ohio Cemetery.

Jonathan followed in his fathers footsteps and ran the saw mill, what was later named Saw Mill Hill on the road from Broomstick to Nickle Valley, and part of the log cabin he built is still standing on the side of the hill below the little cemetery. His father, mother, and infant sister are buried there, along with Mr. and Mrs. North, who came with the family from Pennsylvania to help build houses and barns in the fast growing community. A few of the monuments can still be seen.

A large picture of Jonathan Ashcraft hung in the West Carlisle High School until the building was destroyed by fire. The picture was 6 feet by 3 feet. Jonathan Ashcraft continued to reside in Pike Township, engaged in the quiet pursuits of farm life, until he died at a good old age of 90.
